The new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 looks like one of the best simulator games and for the ones that succeeding in installing it didn’t disappoint.

However, after Microsoft launched the new game, a lot of people complained on Twitter and Reddit (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) either because they are unable to install it or run it.

To eliminate one of the possible issues, first, check if you meet the minimum requirements for your computer to run the game:

  • Video card: Radeon RX 570 or GeForce GTX 770 or better
  • Pixel Shader: 5.0
  • Vertex Shader: 5.0
  • Free disk space: 150 GB
  • Dedicated video memory: 2048 MB

What can I do if I can’t install Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020?

First, double-check if you have at least 150 GB of free space because that is the main problem for not being to install the game.

Because Microsoft just released the game, there might be issues with properly downloading it.

If you are stuck installing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, the solution is to uninstall it and reinstall it fresh. To make sure you uninstall it properly, use a professional uninstalling software.

With those having a problem with downloading it, run the following line in Command Prompt: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

What can I do if Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 won’t start or freezes?

For some users, closing and restarting the game whether they were running it in Windows 10 or Xbox worked so you should try this first.

Another solution is to run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 as Administrator.
